I actually did this card for a sketch challenge... I always take pictures of the cards, but never the inserts I make for a lot of my cards. When creating and sending out cards, I make decorative note cards to write on in case you want to "recycle" the card and send it to someone else... this idea came from my mom when I used to send her cards and she was mad because I did not send two because she wanted to send the card to someone else, but I had already written on the inside to her... so... I granted her wish and now I send 2 or 3 decorative note cards that fit in the card so the card can be used again... and again... and again... So my motto for this installment is ~ Go Green ~ Enjoy!

Welcome to ChocolateDrop Designs!

Welcome to the creative blog of ChocolateDrop! I created this blog to post my scrapbook layouts, hand made cards, and altered crafts. Hopefully I will inspire other creative juices to my visitors and get a lot of creative feedback! Enjoy! I am a single mom to the most beautiful girl in the world. I have been crafting almost all my life, but my bug for scrapbooking was inspired soley by the birth of my daughter and wanting her to have memories of family and friends when she got older. My card making was always a passion but tapered off a bit while I was "finding" myself... only to find out I should not have dimmed the light on my creative side... because that is the side I need to keep the peace in my mind and my soul. I have recently gotten into ATC's which I am loving and still also love to do many different altered projects using various mediums such as old CDs, tins, etc. I want to say I will post often but probably not as often as I would like since I do work full time and with my daughter; that is another full time job when I get home. When the house finally does settle down that is Mommy-time to create! Come back often and leave a note or two! Thanks!
